Mention and explain any four (4) characteristics of waves.

  • Period of a wave is the time taken for the wave to complete one cycle. It is denoted by “T” and is measured in seconds. It is the reciprocal of the frequency. Thus, T = 1/f 

  • Phase of a wave refers to any one point in a recurring series of motions of the particles constituting a displacement.

  • Speed of a wave refers to how quickly a wave propagates through its medium. It is influenced by the features of the medium and the wave itself. 

  • Wavefront of a wave refers to any cross-section of the advancing wave in which all particles are in the same phase.
